A severe thunderstorm is making its way east across Algonquin Park Thursday morning.
Environment Canada has a severe thunderstorm warning for the eastern part of the park and western Renfrew County, such as Deep River. Wind gusts up to 90 kilometres an hour, rain and lightning are risks from this storm, it said.
Around 9:20 a.m. the storm was near Lake Traverse, south of Bissett Creek, and moving east.
There is a severe thunderstorm watch across western Quebec Thursday.
Some local heat warnings remain, but they are expected to be in their final hours.
Environment Canada recommends staying indoors and take cover in a basement where possible during threatening weather, and notes strong winds can damage trees or buildings and overturn vehicles.
Environment Canada issues a severe thunderstorm watch when conditions are favourable for a storm to develop. A warning is issued when there is evidence that a thunderstorm is imminent or occurring that will produce damaging hail, wind or rain.
